Bible Trivia: Love and Marriage

In Luke 20: 34-38, Jesus explains that those who don't get married are:

A:  like angels

B:  cannot die

C:  immoral

D:  doomed


 looked legit...

ANSWER:  A & B

34 Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, 36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection. 37 But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’[b] 38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”

It's interesting to reflect on how certain political parties use the Bible as a point of reference in arguments against equality in marriage while the Bible has a consistently negative impression of marriage on a whole.

seemed legit...
